In 1969, a cartoon about a traditional Japanese family premiered on Fuji TV.More than 55 years later, Sazae-san still airs in its original time slot. It is set in a more patriarchal time when women stay at home and do the housework, and men go to work and like getting drunk.Sunishi Yukimuro was one of the first writers. He tells Vicky Farncombe how young viewers watch it as a period drama and enjoy the closeness of the family.“They get most envious when they watch the scenes where everybody gets together to have a meal,” he says. “We don't have such scenes in current families. People eat separately these days.”Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive. Witness History is for those fascinated by the past.

Jan Steeger ist Head of Communications und Marketing bei Schindler Aufzüge – und ist vor allem eins: ein echter Aufzugsnerd. Einer, der stehen bleibt, wenn er irgendwo eine neue Kabine entdeckt, der auf Geräusche achtet, auf Türen, auf dieses kurze Gefühl, wenn sie sich schließen. Aufzüge sind für ihn keine bloße Technik, sondern soziale Infrastruktur. Wir sprechen darüber, warum uns Aufzüge meist erst auffallen, wenn sie nicht funktionieren, und warum sie trotzdem ein Spiegel unserer Gesellschaft sind.Jan erklärt mir, warum so viele Aufzüge gefühlt ständig kaputt sind, obwohl niemand absichtlich versagt. Es geht um alte Anlagen, um komplizierte Zuständigkeiten zwischen Eigentümerinnen, Betreiberinnen und Wartungsfirmen – und um die Frage, wer eigentlich entscheidet, wo ein Aufzug gebaut wird und für wen er mitgedacht wird. Besonders bei Barrierefreiheit wird klar, wie politisch Technik sein kann.Und wir landen bei der Verantwortung: Aufzüge als Voraussetzung für Teilhabe, Mobilität und Würde. Bei der Vision, Gebäude vom Aufzug aus zu denken – und nicht umgekehrt.

In October 1984, as the market for mobile phones was just opening up, one man decided it would be useful if the new technology could be used to send and receive short, electronic messages.But colleagues of Friedhelm 'Fred' Hillebrand - an engineer for Germany's Deutsche Telekom - told him the system's 160-character limit for text messages rendered it "useless".After spending an evening typing-up birthday, Christmas and fax messages Fred proved them wrong, and within 20 years the SMS or short message service had changed the way we communicate around the world. Fred Hillebrand tells Jacqueline Paine how text messaging very nearly didn't take off until it was discovered by young people.Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive.

In 1956, one of the world's most beloved children's toys went on sale for the first time, but its origins were surprising.The modelling clay had started out as a household cleaning product. In the days when homes were heated by coal fires, it was used to clean soot and dirt from wallpaper.But its manufacturer ran into trouble as oil and gas heating became increasingly popular. Then Kay Zufall, whose brother-in-law owned the firm, had an idea.Her children enjoyed using the putty to make ornaments and jewellery so she suggested the company switch markets and give the clay a new name. Play-Doh was born.According to the current brand owners, more than three billion cans have been sold in 80 countries around the world. Peg Roberts, Kay's daughter, tells Jane Wilkinson how her mother had the idea.Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive. Witness History is for those fascinated by the past.

Ralph Fiennes se narodil 22. prosince 1962 a herectví má doslova v genech. Elegantní Brit s pronikavým pohledem se dokáže proměnit v romantického hrdinu i nelítostného padoucha. Možná proto mu ve filmové branži přezdívají herecký chameleon. Slávu mu přinesl Schindlerův seznam, popularitu zase Voldemort z Harryho Pottera – roli, do níž ho prý přemluvila jeho sestra Martha. Režisér, divadelník, umělec, který o svém soukromí nemluví a před kamerou mizí za každou postavou.

On 24 December 1951, in the United States, television history was made with the live broadcast of Amahl and the Night Visitors, the first opera ever composed specifically for TV.Written by acclaimed Italian composer Gian Carlo Menotti, the opera almost didn't happen. Struggling with writer's block and a looming deadline, Menotti feared he wouldn't finish, until a visit to an art gallery sparked a childhood memory and inspired the story.Broadcast live every Christmas Eve on NBC until 1966, Amahl and the Night Visitors became a much-loved holiday tradition for American audiences.Produced and presented by Gill Kearsley using a variety of archive from the 1950s through to the 2000s.Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive.

Philipp Schindler, Chief Business Officer von Google, verteidigt die neue KI-Suche gegen Kritik von Verlagen und Wettbewerbshütern. Er beschreibt die technologische Entwicklung als „dauerhafte tektonische Verschiebung“, die das Nutzungsverhalten im Internet radikal verändert. Schindler versichert, dass Google weiterhin Traffic an Publisher leitet und an neuen Darstellungsformen für Quellen arbeitet. Gleichzeitig mahnt er im Gespräch mit Michael Bröcker schlankere Regulierung in Europa an, um im globalen Innovationswettbewerb gegen die USA und China zu bestehen.[10:24]Die Staats- und Regierungschefs der EU-Länder haben sich bei der Unterstützung für die Ukraine nicht darauf einigen können, die eingefrorenen russischen Vermögen zu nutzen. Die Ukraine bekommt von der EU einen zinslosen Kredit über 90 Milliarden Euro. Die russischen Vermögen bleiben derweil eingefroren und sollen später herangezogen werden können, falls Russland der Ukraine keine Entschädigungen zahlen sollte. Bundeskanzler Merz nennt es eine „pragmatische Lösung“. Das ursprünglich diskutierte Verfahren sei offensichtlich zu kompliziert.[02:00]Bund und Länder haben sich auf den Digitalpakt 2.0 mit einem Gesamtvolumen von fünf Milliarden Euro geeinigt. Bundesbildungsministerin Karin Prien erklärt im Gespräch mit Vera Kraft, Redaktionsleiterin des Bildung.Table, dass die Gelder gezielt in Administration, Support und die KI-Fortbildung von Lehrkräften fließen.[06:10]Hol Dir deine persönlichen Daten mit Incogni zurück!

Over the past two years, many filmmakers have hesitated or refrained from bringing their films to Israeli film festivals as part of cultural boycott of Israel over the Gaza war. But for Joshua Zeman, the decision to bring his powerful new documentary “Checkpoint Zoo” to the Jerusalem Jewish Film Festival was “merely part and parcel of the whole experience of making a film about something that's been politicized that shouldn’t be politicized.” Zeman’s film tells the dramatic story of the 2022 rescue of nearly 5,000 animals from the Feldman Ecopark zoo in Ukraine located on the Russian border outside the city of Kharkiv – on the front lines of the war – lovingly built and maintained by an animal-loving Orthodox Jewish oligarch, Oleksandr Feldman. “There has been a lot of backlash against Ukraine here in the States, even though the film is just about people rescuing animals, so the film was already complicated for me in terms of getting distribution,” Zeman said on the Haaretz Podcast. “Checkpoint Zoo” chronicles the efforts of Feldman, a handful of zoo workers who did not flee Kharkiv during the war and four idealistic volunteers as they risked their lives under fire from drones and bombs to remove lions, tigers, monkeys, ostriches and other animals out of from harm’s way in a modern-day Noah’s Ark. “War by definition is brutality created to strip away your humanity. But in rescuing these animals, these volunteers not only refound their humanity, but found this unbelievable well of courage.” Zeman sees Feldman – who allowed his luxurious mansion to be taken over by the rescued animals – as “a Schindler-esque character.” After Feldman’s businesses in Kharkiv were destroyed by the war, he was forced to “basically sell everything to care for these animals,” Zeman recounted. “Whenever we talked about the animals, he immediately cried. He's a big crier – he is a fascinating character who espouses a lot of values from the Torah.” Read more: Meet Oleksander Feldman, the Lonely Ukrainian Jew Fighting His Country’s New Fondness for Nazis 'It Is a Fascist Project': The Ukrainian Filmmaker Who Withdrew From a Prestigious Amsterdam Film Festival Because of the Israel Boycott Read all of Haaretz's film coverage Russian Strikes Destroy Centers of Jewish Life in Kharkiv as Community Members Flee The Tragic End of the Ukrainian Community in GazaSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There are movies you enjoy, movies you love, and then there are Life Changing Movies, the ones that hit you at the exact right moment and quietly shape how you see the world. In this special Born to Watch episode, Whitey and Gow sit down on the couch for a rare daytime recording to unpack the films that genuinely changed them, not just as movie fans, but as people.Originally planned as a solo episode, Whitey quickly realised this topic needed conversation, reflection, and a bit of friendly back-and-forth. What follows is a deeply personal walk through cinema history, from classic black and white films through to modern blockbusters, with each movie tied to a specific time, place, and feeling. These are not rankings, not reviews, and not necessarily the “greatest films of all time”. These are the films that left a permanent mark.The rules were simple. The films had to be movies Born to Watch has never reviewed before, and they had to be experienced in the order Whitey first saw them. What unfolds is a cinematic timeline that mirrors growing up, discovering new genres, and realising that movies can be far more than mere entertainment. They can be confronting, comforting, terrifying, inspiring, and sometimes completely overwhelming.The episode kicks off with The African Queen, a film Whitey first watched as a kid with his Nan, and a gateway into old cinema that opened the door to classics like Casablanca and Captain's Courageous. From there, the conversation moves into The Great Escape, a film both hosts hold in incredibly high regard, not just for its iconic moments, but for its storytelling, tension, and emotional weight that still holds up decades later.As the timeline moves forward, the episode touches on cultural moments that defined entire generations. Seeing Batman (1989) in a packed cinema, complete with Prince's soundtrack and Jack Nicholson's Joker, becomes more than just a movie memory. It becomes a snapshot of adolescence, crushes, embarrassment, and the shared chaos of opening night at the local cinema.The conversation does not shy away from darker territory. Films like Deliverance, The Evil Dead, Psycho, and Schindler's List are discussed not for shock value, but for the way they challenged expectations and forced viewers to confront uncomfortable truths. These are films that stay with you long after the credits roll, sometimes in ways you do not fully understand until years later.Blockbusters also have their place. Terminator 2: Judgment Day is remembered as a near-perfect cinematic experience, combining groundbreaking visual effects with emotional storytelling and characters that audiences genuinely cared about. It is a reminder that big movies can still have heart and depth when done correctly..The episode closes by reflecting on films driven by dialogue and ideas, particularly JFK, a movie that became comfort viewing for Whitey despite its heavy subject matter. It represents how movies can evolve with us, revealing new layers each time we revisit them.This is an episode about memory, growth, and the quiet power of cinema. Whether you agree with every pick or not, these Life Changing Movies will almost certainly spark memories of your own. #BornToWatch #LifeChangingMovies #MovieMemories #FilmPodcast #CinemaLovers #MovieNostalgia #ClassicFilms #FilmDiscussion #MovieFans #PodcastAustralia

Operation Flagship was a U.S Marshals sting operation, where some of Washington DC's most wanted fugitives, were lured to a convention centre under the pretence of having won coveted NFL tickets in December 1985. Upon their arrival, they were greeted by cheerleaders and mascots – all law enforcement officers in disguise. It led to one of America's most successful mass arrests with more than 100 people being arrested. Former US Marshal Stacia Hylton was one of the ‘cheerleaders'.

In 1967, Nigerian writer Wole Soyinka tried to stop the country's Biafra war, in which Nigeria's Igbo people responded to violence by seceding from the rest of the country. They proclaimed a new Republic of Biafra.When the fighting began, Soyinka was building a reputation as a poet and playwright abroad. However, in a last-ditch attempt to avert civil war, he set off on a secret mission behind the front line to meet the Biafran leader, Emeka Odumegwu Ojukwu. When he left Biafra, he was imprisoned by the federal government without trial for more than two years.Soyinka drew on his prison experience in his writing over the following years, for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1986 - the first African to win the award. He looks back on those events with Ben Henderson. Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive. Witness History is for those fascinated by the past.

An Afghan national shot two National Guard members in Washington, D.C. Counterterrorism expert Hans-Jakob Schindler says this may be more than a mental health case. He warns extremist networks in Taliban-run Afghanistan now reach directly into Afghan diaspora communities online. The attacker's travel, target selection, and ambush tactics match modern lone-actor terror patterns. Schindler says social media platforms—not law enforcement—hold the real early-warning data.
